Custom AMD RX 6800 XT Strix vs. Nitro+ & Merc Overclocking Recap

The Two and Then This One Was the Full Performance Switch

The two cards that we've sent through testing are actually identical except for one key difference, and then this one was the full performance switch. Back plate's got at least one thermal pad on there against the vrm area of the pad will of the uh the back plate we'll have to look at that and the tear down a little bit of a flow through over here that carried over from the 5700 xd nitro model as well which was one of our top performers and uh and they've carried that design over so yeah it's been big news because of nvidia but certainly it's been done before okay so that's the nitro fairly large card but not nearly as large as some of the others like the xfx one which has decided to stick its nose out past the usable area of the board uh just the end of the back plate even just to get the card to be larger than everyone else's but you can feel some air exhaust over here kind of an interesting design i'm looking forward to taping it closed and testing it there's still a plastic shroud above the fin stack they should know better they've seen our content on it for sure but i'm assuming they think this is okay for one reason or another we'll find out in testing if that's true or not it's easy enough to take it out and test a b comparisons but perhaps because it's elevated a little bit they're thinking that the air has enough of a path out i'm not sure i agree but that's okay the back plate actually has a good amount of thermal pads in it we'll talk about this later again but the fact that it's got some thermal pads on the back plate is a good sign and the card's huge not really much else to say it also has a bioswitch.

The Asus Strix was the one that kind of surprised me. This all these other cards we've sent through testing already uh in one form or another so mike's done a lot of power testing already we've got some bench numbers in on a few of them that are you know we're not finalized they're not public yet but they're tested this one i had not tested at all it arrived just the other day opened it right before the stream and uh i wasn't expecting it to be liquid cooled so it is a hybrid card. It's got a vrm fan and we took a um you can see here the sticker that's not stock that's me so i put a sticker on it to take a tachometer measurement during the stream the reason we did that was because i was trying to figure out if the fan reported speed and bought in um andy software was this vrm fan or these fans and it's these fans so we validated that with physical hardware which is not incorrect. So that's vrm cooling i'm assuming there's a copper plate connected to the cold plate to share memory cooling we'll find out i don't want to take it apart till we do thermal testing on it for a lot of obvious reasons and don't want to disturb the thermal paste mostly.

These cards also have a zero fan spin download which is kind of interesting. We turned it off for the benchmarking but it does mean they'll turn off until uh presumably the gpu is at a certain temperature i'd be more concerned about if the liquid reaches a certain temperature for the internals of the loop don't want to be above 60 65 for the plastics inside of a loop but um we'll ask them how they did it. So that's the asus card also has dual v bios uh we put it in the performance mode bios but that's a dual virus but yeah so not a that's mostly going to be a fan thing not a power thing with asus cards right now anyway.

The Stream Recap

The stream recap is pretty straightforward, just sort of a big box of everything. The cards and how they did the big takeaway here is just sort of relatively flat frequency lines for all of these because they're fairly i don't know i don't know if i can't call any of them good yet thermally because we haven't done like the component temperatures but for this two-minute test they were fine. Questions can be how they do once they're in burning and we'll do that soon enough so that's the stream recap hopefully that helps uh just a bit a bit of fun is really what it was but the asus card technically was the winner even if by like one and a quarter percent.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey everyone quick stream recap for the four hour long custom rx 6800 xd card overclocking stream we had a few cards there were four total choices i don't know where i've put the other one but there were four choices we had uh the miss where is it i don't remember the last few hours i found it it was this one we moved it because of the liquid cooler so we had four cards and uh we told chat we would work on three but that they had to fight over which one the third one was going to be for the day so we overclocked several custom cards the goal of this was to establish sort of a an overclocking maximum headroom between the cards but it's not the review there's a lot more to video cards than overclocking that's just a very small part of the reviews these days but still something that we needed to find out so we thought we'd do it live before that this video is brought to you by crucial ballistix memory including the new kits targeted for use with amd's new ryzen 5000 cpus crucial's new ballistics max memory is some of the highest performing memory on the market and can be tuned for timings and clocks to improve performance the company also has its other crucial ballistics kits for a more affordable entry to enthusiast grade memory crucial is a micron brand and has direct access to its own memory supply learn more at the link in the description below so let me walk you through the final scores first we have i'll throw together a quick chart for the data that we can put on the screen for each one but we start with the sapphire nitro which is actually out of the system right now that's this card i'll kind of walk through the exterior of the cards in a bit we'll have full reviews on at least a few of these maybe not all of them depending on the time may do a roundup or something but we'll have full reviews to talk about the thermals the noise normalized thermals the pressure of the gpu against the thigh the levelness or the flatness i should say of the cold plate all that stuff later but this was focused on overclocking so that means the cards that have the highest power target are going to be advantaged and the cards that have uh if any of them do at this point any sort of binning or pre-testing on the silicon would have an advantage although that's pretty rare so sapphire nitro its base score was 94.08 this was actually the lowest of them we're running port royal score might not mean a whole lot to you which is completely fine ultimately what we're looking at is relative scaling so percent differences between them and uh we were not worried about anything like comparison to nvidia or we didn't do any comparisons nvidia so it's purely based on the partner models didn't even have the reference card in there for this one so 9408 stock the rage mode got it to 94.71 so a point something percent uplift nothing major with some basic overclocking we got it to 97 81 98 24 bit later with mem at 2100 we then brought it we had a fail a crash at 2600 2700 for the memory range and uh as a reminder to answer a question that was in the stream but it's worth answering again here narrowing the range to say 2820 800 megahertz doesn't work so the amd software forces you to have a gap between the minimum and the maximum you can't set them both to the max value and the max value does stop at 2800 that was not an issue for any of the cars we worked with because we were power constrained before we were constrained by the software except for the xfx card and i'll talk about that one in a little bit the sapphire card ended up at 10.271 let me do some quick math on that so 10271 versus its baseline score 9408 means that we had an improvement of about 9.17 on the sapphire card from oc versus stock pretty damn good but it was handily beaten by the asus strix hybrid and i'll walk through this one in a moment as well when we do the rest i want to get through the scores first though so this card has a massive advantage in that it's attached to a liquid cooler and liquid cooling because these gpus just like cpus these days boost contingent upon thermals the lower you drive down the temperature every couple degrees is worth a couple more megahertz or in the absolute worst case it's worth stability of the frequency over time uh which we showed in the stream a few times the shots of the port royal actually we'll just go ahead and open one up right now i did not save any of the squares but we'll just click on one so there's a 1004 that was an xfx card score i think we eventually were in the 10 10 twos but this uh frequency line down here this pinkish line that in the worst case with a good thermal solution is going to be roughly flat and in the best case it's going to be higher and flat because you'll be able to clock higher from the lower temperature of the gpu core so anyway that's things to think about so we'll look at the reviews but the strix did ten three nine nine points that versus the sapphire card 10399 versus ten two seven one is an improvement over sapphire of one point two five percent so not a lot especially if it's costing uh well any amount more money really so the real benefit from something like a liquid cooler is going to be with noise normalized per orange where at a given temperature you can run it much quieter that's the benefit and that might not matter to a lot of people but again that's reviews territory for overclocking it's an advantage especially competitive one but at 1.25 percent it might not be one that you can justify i don't know the price right now though of these two cards uh because they don't exist i can't buy them so i'm not sure what they're supposed to cost but we'll find out that for the reviews as well the 10 399 score was 2590 to 2690 for the core clock we had a couple runs in here that you'll see in the chart i'll throw together at 2600 to 2700 which is in fact 10 megahertz higher on the core than the final run but if you look at the scoring for it the 26 to 2700 range was a worse performer for us than uh 25 90 to 26 90. that extra 10 megahertz pushed it into territory where you can still complete the test this is very important uh hope you're taking notes if you're going to do overclocking it can still complete the test but it was in the background silently unstable in a way which was hindering the performance to the tune of over 100 points so our 2600 to 2700 run with the 2150 megahertz for the memory which is the max amd currently allows that was 10 215 but 10 399 happened when we dropped 10 megahertz off the memory and off the core so the clocks are lower but in the background there are fewer errors happening there's less instability and so your score boosts as a result so just setting it to the highest number isn't the right move just like just setting we talked about this on the stream too just setting your voltage to the lowest number isn't the right move because as we showed with the xfx card was it xfx actually a few cards uh asus we had a best example with asus we had a 9 000 something point score in the middle of a bunch of 10 200 scores massive reduction in points and the reason that happened was from reducing the voltage to 1100 millivolts and so if you think you have your card running stable at a thousand millivolts 1.0 volts or something like that do some score checking to make sure your performance hasn't regressed because it's possible that you have performance regression but it's still running so it's not crashing from instability it's just nuking your score or your fps in the game just do validation as long as you've validated the score is improved or stayed the same then you're good to go anyway for voltage on the asus card we got the best score with 10 399 points at 1100 millivolts that's not going to apply to every asus strix card just this particular one gp silicon is all the same all different fitness and quality parameters we did use fast timings in the sapphire test we had a like for like with that that was worth 62 points and uh it's about a point six percent up so competitive value but maybe not elsewhere depends on the game probably too so that's what we're looking at for those cards finally for the xfx merc 319 i think it's called that one started at 94.80 it was the highest of the base scores and then it settled at 10.258 which was the lowest of the overclock scores but not by much versus the nitro and again being the best or worst overclocker here doesn't necessarily mean much unless you're buying it for overclocking but it's still an interesting thing to look at and the reviews will tell us more information about the quality of the cards so that was out of 2700 to 2800 core clock this is where xfx it was running about 26.50 this is a power color card it was running about there it is 26.50 during the actual tests so it wasn't like it was running 2700 to 2800 but because that was acting as an offset and we were running negative from the offset by 150 versus the max we didn't have any room to bring it up higher because amd's software limits here is something roman talked about it's something that was true in the last generation too it's not new heaven with the 5700 and it's happening again now with the 6800 xt presumably because amd doesn't want you to be able to overclock the 6800 xt to equate a 6900 xt that's normally why they do it so if we could have slid that slider further maybe xfx would have jumped over the sapphire nitro but until we can we don't know so that's how the cards played out thoroughly we'll look at all that later but let's walk through some of the designs just quickly this is the one we didn't test today we had chat take a vote and uh we did a couple votes and eventually it was decided by an ssd flip i flipped an ssd and we chose one side was xfx and the other side was power color and the ssd landed on the side that was xfx so this we didn't test the stream was four hours long sorry you know gotta cut it somewhere and this was it but we'll review it later um didn't work with it don't have a lot to say we'll find out more in the future for the cards we did test let's start with the nitro which is the one that i started with in the stream this one's got a three fan design it's triaxial uh the center fan is rotated the opposite direction and it's smaller i think these are maybe 100 mils we'll measure them later in the stream i showed how the fans are connected by a single screw and then have a pin to pad so you can pull it out and swap it which is great we always want to see that huge design bonus makes it easy to do warranty repair so the center fan's a bit smaller their vertical fin orientation so top to bottom airflow path on that and then you can see the pin outs down here for the fans and their cables the top there's a triple bios switch sort of the first one is actually not a physical bios that'd be that position assuming the documentation i found online is accurate which was from sapphire that's a software bioswitch you can use the tri-xx software to switch it i have not tried that yet the center position is i think the the quieter of the two and then this one was the full performance switch so back plate's got at least one thermal pad on there against the vrm area of the pad will of the uh the back plate we'll have to look at that and the tear down a little bit of a flow through over here that carried over from the 5700 xd nitro model as well which was one of our top performers and uh and they've carried that design over so yeah it's been big news because of nvidia but certainly it's been done before okay so that's the nitro fairly large card but not nearly as large as some of the others like the xfx one which has decided to stick its nose out past the usable area of the board uh just the end of the back plate even just to get the card to be larger than everyone else's but you can feel some air exhaust over here kind of an interesting design i'm looking forward to taping it closed and testing it there's still a plastic shroud above the fin stack they should know better they've seen our content on it for sure but i'm assuming they think this is okay for one reason or another we'll find out in testing if that's true or not it's easy enough to take it out and test a b comparisons but perhaps because it's elevated a little bit they're thinking that the air has enough of a path out i'm not sure i agree but that's okay the back plate actually has a good amount of thermal pads in it we'll talk about this later again but the fact that it's got some thermal pads on the back plate is a good sign and the card's huge not really much else to say it also has a bioswitch the position we tested it in has a slightly higher power target i think 289 watts versus 281 something like that and then the asus strix was the one that kind of surprised me this all these other cards we've sent

because i was trying to figure out if the fan reported speed and bought in um andy software was this vrm fan or these fans and it's these fans so we validated that with physical hardware which is not incorrect so that's vrm cooling i'm assuming there's a copper plate connected to the cold plate to share memory cooling we'll find out i don't want to take it apart till we do thermal testing on it

it's got a vrm fan and we took a um you can see here the sticker that's not stock that's me so i put a sticker on it to take a tachometer measurement during the stream the reason we did that was because i was trying to figure out if the fan reported speed and bought in um andy software was this vrm fan or these fans and it's these fans so we validated that with physical hardware which is not incorrect so that's vrm cooling i'm assuming there's a copper plate connected to the cold plate to share memory cooling we'll find out i don't want to take it apart till we do thermal testing on it for a lot of obvious reasons and don't want to disturb the thermal paste mostly and these do have a zero fan spin download which is kind of interesting we turned it off for the benchmarking but it does mean they'll turn off until uh presumably the gpu is at a certain temperature i'd be more concerned about if the liquid reaches a certain temperature for the internals of the loop don't want to be above 60 65 for the plastics inside of a loop but um we'll ask them how they did it so that's the asus card also has dual v bios uh we put it in the performance mode bios but that's a dual virus but yeah so not a that's mostly going to be a fan thing not a power thing with asus cards right now anyway so that'll recap the stream the cards and how they did the big takeaway here is just sort of relatively flat frequency lines for all of these because they're fairly i don't know i don't know if i can't call any of them good yet thermally because we haven't done like the component temperatures but for this two-minute test they were fine questions can be how they do once they're in burning and we'll do that soon enough so that's the stream recap hopefully that helps uh just a bit a bit of fun is really what it was but the asus card technically was the winner even if by like one and a quarter percent so that's it thanks for watching subscribe for more you can go to store.gamersnexus.net
